National - DCA - National carries 2012 BMW X3s!

To my very great surprise, National carries 2013 BMW X3s (don't know about 3-series sedans).

It's a GXAR/UXAR, need to check receipt. :)

They're X3 xDrive28i models with the new turbo-charged 4-cyl engine.

Correction: They're actually 2012 BMW X3 xDrive 28i models. :)

Yes dwbf11. :)

Though I should temper my enthusiasm; they're actually 2012 BMW X3s. However, I'm still pleasantly surprised at the recent surge of new cars at DCA.

Care to narrow that title a bit? It's not a if one can expect to find BMWs at all National locations worldwide.

Unfortunately, I can't edit the title, but it appears that at DCA, they acquired a dozen 2012 BMW X3 xDrive 28is (not certain if they're all the same trim level).

We carry the 3,5,x3,and x5 at the fll location. We also got the 2013 Taurus,Lincoln mks, flex fuel explorer,Chevy cruze,flex fuel edge,more avalons and genesis,Mercedes glk, and more c300 sedans.

Was just down there this weekend and only saw (and took) an Avalon. I didn't see literally any of those other cars anywhere on the lot.

2012 BMW X3 xDrive 28i is a GXAR. :)

I saw a X5 at CLT back in January.

I'm pleased, very pleased, that National is introducing more high end cars into its fleet.

DCA used to have a terrible Specialty selection, but has improved significantly since acquiring a dozen BMWs over the past week. :)

2013 ford flex guy's! I love these. Also,I work for Alamo/National/Enterprise returns. If you don't see much of these cars it's because they are usually on Alamo's specialty and luxury aisle.

babyboy754, do you know when National will be acquiring the 2013 Ford Escapes and 2013 VW CCs?

Also, does National carry the new 2012 BMW 328is?

This is pretty welcome news. I might have to push for a little BMW flavor at PHL, just to get a feel. :)

X3 is a lot smaller than your usual Yukons/Tahoes - X5 might be ok though.

Thx for the heads-up Peter - I need to educate myself in the ways of the BMW, and the X5 might just be the vehicle to do it. :)

X3 is bigger than MB GLK-350 though. :)

I don't know about the escapes. Don't know cars until I actually see them.

Sorry for newbie question ... what's the car type for X3 and X5? Luxury or Full Size Crossover? Need to use $300 coupon for the upcoming car rental in Aug. Thanks!!

GXAR I believe, so technically, neither Luxury nor Full Size Crossover. You'd have to check with the station manager to see if they'll let you rent the X3 with either reservation.

Sorry for the newbie question, but what is GXAR? To book these we'd have to call and ask for a GXAR category?

GXAR = Fullsize Elite

Depends on the station manager on duty; some will let you take a GXAR/FXAR vehicle with a Luxury/Premium Crossover reservation, others may charge an upsell fee. YMMV.
